Kieran Trippier "casually" flying out... as opposed to?

Has it? I've seen the Athletic report it and assume their info is pretty spot on. Thought that being his motive to leave was a little bit off.

Seems bizarre that Ederson is willing to leave Man City because he has been "affected" by the praise Stefan Ortega got towards the end of the last season. There's likely more to it but that appears to be the main factor as to why he wants out.

Not sure where £50m is coming from for Madueke but I think that's a reasonable fee. At that price you're probably spending more on his potential and what he can become as opposed to his current ability. Quite similar to the Gordon transfer in that respect.

Imagine a Howe improved Moussa Sissoko next to Joelinton with Bruno in between.

Surely selling Minteh/Ashworth/Anderson/other(s) were plan A, selling Bruno, Joelinton, Isak etc. was plan F.

Agreed. Maybe ordinary wasn't the best description. He was a million miles away from his usual self but definitely didn't do anything wrong.

Really smart this template from Umbro for Brentford. The piping on the sleeves is a smart touch.

I thought he was pretty ordinary at the Euros, definitely not mediocre. He'd came back from a lengthy spell out injured and shunted out of position. Definitely didn't do much wrong but certainly wasn't any threat going forward.

Sad to see him go, he's not past it yet and still one of the best passers in our team. His first time crosses are lethal. Clearly has things going on outside of football so looks like it's best for all parties that he leaves whilst we can still get a half decent return on him. Hall & Livramento as our full-backs for years to come is pretty exciting. Hopefully.

I like how they put a circle around the toilet incase anyone missed it.

Leeds:

Much more technically gifted than Almiron and quite similar in always wanting to cut inside (but does have a right foot and can/does go down the right). His work rate isn't as high as Almiron's but that's probably because there's few players out there who put a shift in like Miggy. Has a sweet strike on him and takes penalties too.

Nico Gonzales. Yes please.

Time to give the captaincy to Schar. (When Lascelles isnt playing)

Is this nike's new 'thing'? their swoosh logo standing vertical?

A really depressing choice of colour there.

Nike seem to be on a mission in the last 2-3 years to make everything they design absolutely awful.

Could put him on the bench incase one of the other 10 get injured.

You can never have too many big Joes.

that’s such a let down. the plain white collar is so bland, just giving it a little design or different shape would have elevated the whole shirt massively. Even if they added a small border to the sela font and logo so it didn’t look like a dhgate knockoff.

The most farcical part of that article is that it reckons we rate Gordon at only £60m.

Looks like a cheap version of Castore's European warm up kit last season.

Deliberate imo, definitely done to garner a good following before he released his new podcast. Thankfully its backfired massively and costing him a fortune in fines.
